Coming Out of Darkness Part 17 - Gary Sigler

God is El Elyon,(Most High) and He has a plan and a purpose. He placed His Seed not just in you and me. God has placed His Seed in all of humanity. The Gospel of John says that Jesus was the

true light that lights every man that comes into the world (John 1:9). Is this

true or false? Proverbs tells us that the spirit of man is the candle, or lamp,

of the Lord (Prov. 20:27).Every person has within their being the Seed of

God, and that Seed needs the Divine Sperm to quicken it and regenerate it.

God calls out the Church, reveals Himself to the Church, and then begins to

impart unto the Church His essence, His nature and His character, so that they

in turn can go to the world and bring reconciliation to all of creation.

God has been with us in the wilderness. When we suffer, God suffers. Why? Because, more than you ever realize, God and man truly are one. In the very core, in the very center of your being, lies the Seed of God. And when you are regenerated, that Seed of God is what brings to you the feeling, the emotion, the regeneration of God.

Every person that was ever born is special, but you are not any more special

because you know God than the man who doesn’t. Didn’t Jesus say,"No man can come unto Me except the Father draw him"

(John 6:44)? Then

how can you take credit? How can you say that the reason you know God is that

you have done certain things, or you haven’t done certain things?When God

chooses you out of all the people in the world, and for His own plan and

purpose generates His Divine Seed within you, all of a sudden you become aware,

you become conscious of God. Why? It is His plan and His purpose to restore

the creation back to Himself.

Romans 8:21 says that

there will come a day when all of creation shall be loosed from the bondage of

corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Is that true or

not? If you are typical in your Christian thinking, it is not yet true for you.

But who does "all of creation" include? Those who have run to an

altar? Those who have said some words? Sometimes we think it’s a magical

phrase: "Jesus, I receive You." Will there really come a day in the

history of the world when all of creation shall be loosed from the bondage of

corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God? Oh, I can’t wait

for the revelation to come to the Church! We have such a message! We have the

hidden mysteries of the Gospel yet to be revealed.

Our country is in such a

mess, yet even as Christians, we say, "Well, if we could just get rid of

that Obama. If we could just get rid of the whole political system and start

over." But let me tell you that we, you and I, are responsible for what is

happening in Washington today. It’s not Obama’s fault. It’s not the Democratic

Party’s fault. It’s not the Republicans’ fault. The people of God have lost the

revelation of the Father-heart of God, andwe have not become the salt of

the earth. What is the salt of the earth? If I am the salt of the earth, I

am the flavor, and if I am truly salted with His essence, I am absolutely free

to do anything! But in the doing of whatever I do, I am salt, and from

the very essence of my being, something will permeate, and people will be

affected. If you have the essence of God, you don’t have to preach the Gospel,

in the sense of the "religious" Gospel.

I worked at NASA for six

years, and for at least half of that time, I didn’t try to preach the Gospel at

all. But I tried to be the best worker, the best friend. That is a gift that

God has given me, I just love people. But after three years, I mentioned to a

man who worked with me, "John, have you ever been aware of God in your

life?" and this big bruiser of a guy almost hit me. He said, "Don’t

you ever mention that name in my presence again." Because, he said,

"I’ll tell you one thing, Gary. If there is such a thing as a God, I can’t

wait to see Him, and I’ll tell Him, ‘You SOB,’ for the mess that He made this

creation to be." But I want you to know that when I left NASA, this man

had tears in his eyes, and he said, "Gary, all of my life I’ve heard about

the love of God, about, you know, all preaching and this and that," and he

said, "You’re the first person I’ve ever met whom I could say actually has

the love of God and walks in what they say they believe."

You don’t have to preach the Gospel. And if you are around me, you find out that I’m just a joker. I have a lot of fun. Yet I know that deposited within my being, there is such a precious, precious anointing of His love for humanity. Again, does that make me special? NO! No, it doesn’t. As I said, for 13½ years I did everything; I never prayed less than an hour a day. I never read less than ten or twenty chapters of Scripture a day. Yet for 13½ years I was a failure.

Not totally, for I did make some progression, but I wasn’t free. But when I realized that holiness is wherever God is, then God began to speak in small ways and reveal to me, "You’ve been saying for years that Jesus lives in you—don’t you think it’s about time that you became aware of it?" And today, I’m aware of it, but not nearly enough, because when we have the heart of the Father unveiled to us, we will be world-changers.

God is not a bigot. I was taught as a young Christian, "If a Jehovah’s Witness comes to yourdoor, slam it in his face, because those people really believe what they say, and you will become so deceived." That’s the kind of love that I was taught. And the Mormons? "Oh my God, don’t even get close to those guys!

Some of the things they teach are demonic!" We have no concept of the

Father-heart of God. We don’t really have an experience of what we say we

believe, or we would not be in fear of a Jehovah’s Witness, we would not be in

fear of a Mormon, we wouldn’t teach our kids not to play with the

"JW’s".

If we had the essence of God and we were the salt of the earth, what would we fear? Because we would salt the earth. You really are the salt of the earth. But the Lord said,"If the salt has lost its flavor . . ."

(Mt. 5:13), and for the most part that is what happened. In 2,000 years, we lost the flavor. The Church isn’t really able to salt that much anymore. What did the Lord say?"It’s good for nothing. It needs to be cast out." Some people will tell you that means that if you lose your salt, you lose your flavor;you’ve lost your salvation and you will go to hell and burn forever. Let me tell you what it really means.When you lose your saltiness, the fire of God

begins to bring purification. It’s not a negative experience! El Elyon knows just exactly what you need to cause you to bow the knee, just as He knew what it would take to turn Jonah, who was running away from Him.

You are free to do anything you want to do, you are free to turn your back on God. But I have news for you. Try it! Sure, you can make the choice. You are free. But you really don’t have a free will.

Your will is either captivated by the enemy through the fall, or you have given yourself to God. I used to drive out into the desert every morning in California, and I would say, "God, I give you

permission to do whatever it takes. I say to the principalities and powers in heavenly places, I give God permission to do anything He wants to do in my life." I lost my free will. If I ever had it, I lost it then. God became El Elyon to me, whether I liked it, or whether I didn’t. And there have been many times when I didn’t like it. The fire gets hot.

But although we look at these experiences as negative, we have to understand the Father-heart of God. You will be judged, but it won’t be a religious judgment. God is not that big, ugly being up there full of vengeful wrath. I know that the Bible talks about the wrath of God, and I know that the day of His wrath is coming, but the concept of "sinners in the hands of an angry God" is really not the right concept of your Father God. God as your Father will put you through the fire.

What happens to gold if you throw it in the fire? It is purified. Gold, silver andprecious stones. What is in you? The gold. Do you have the Divine Life andNature of God, or do you not? If we can say, as the Apostle Peter taught us,that we have the Divine Life of God in us, then we have the gold, but we willhave to be purified by the fire.

I hope you can hear what I am saying and go a little bit further with it. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezek. 33:11). John said that Jesus would baptize with theHoly Ghost and with fire (Mt. 3:11). Well, we have taken the Holy Ghost and Pentecost,but we left off the fire, because the fire isn’t the fun part. But we need the fire, because when we have the heart of the Father unveiled to us, we will be world-changers.

At one time I had a nature that loved all of the wrong things. On the inside of me, I had a desire for God,but my natural character and makeup was much stronger than my desire for God.

So, everywhere I went, ministers would say, "I can’t help you. You have to make a choice. You have to decide, are you going to obey God or obey your flesh?" Well, what am I going to do if my flesh is stronger? I tried obeying God, but it didn’t work. So God put me in the fire.All of us will go through the fire. Your natural, human character and personality—all of those

human traits that you have inherited from your father Adam, all of the disobedience, all of the erring of your ways, everything in your being that is antichrist (and the Church is full of antichrist today) must be burned. El Elyon will put you in the fire until you come up out of it a pillar of smoke, and this is not just for you alone.

You are only fortunate in this sense of the word: that God is calling you now. God has called us out now to begin to purify us so that we can take the message of reconciliation to the world.I had a prophecy given to me a few years ago, and when this prophecy was given to me, God spoke right behind it and said, "This word was not for you, this word was for the Church." It was for me, but not just for me. You know what I mean. And the word was this:"There is going to be a day when people

will look into your eyes and immediately be ushered into the presence of God,

be regenerated, and be filled with the Spirit of God." When that

happens, you’ll know for a surety that we have come up out of the wilderness.

We need to be the offering that is consumed upon the altar by the fire of God, and it hurts. But

you know what was said of Jesus (and you would have this same attitude if you

understood the heart of God), it said that for the joy that was set before Him,

He endured the cross.

Andi f you have the plan of God for your life revealed to you, then for the joy that is set before you, you also will endure the fire!

There is not much talk in the Church today about suffering, but if you will be godly, you willsuffer! And it won’t be by people persecuting you (although that could be a part of it); you are going to suffer in the very essence of your being, because everything in you that you thought was godly is going to be stripped away.

And if you haven’t had this experience yet, there will come a day when God will rip that flesh away from you and let you look at it and see it as it is, and you will realize that, if not for the grace of God, you could be a murderer,you could be a rapist, you have all of the tendencies that any man ever has had in your flesh and you are capable of the most vile acts, were it not for the grace of God."And He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire"

(Mt. 3:11).

Prayer: Burn Within Us

Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by the very essence of your being, I ask You to burn upon the altars of our hearts. I ask you to send forth that holy fire that would consume every area, every avenue of my thought and my being.

O God, I ask that you would burn, and burn, and burn within my being, and that You would cause the essence of Your being, the Seed of Your Life, that is within me to rise and to stand. O Father, may that Seed of Your Life come forth within Your people!

Lord, we, as the collective Body of Christ, stand undivided. We say,

"Come, O Holy One, come, fire of God, come and burn within our

being."

Father, only You can burn out the rebellion. Only You can burn out the disobedience. It is only by the purifying fire of Your Holy Ghost that we can live and not die. Oh God, bring the fire. El Elyon, reveal to us your Father-heart.

Welcome to this Project!

This blog was conceived on the 8th August 2008,hence its title. 8 is the number of new beginnings, which was also the prophetic declaration over the Church through various prophets in 2008.On,Now,To the Third Level is not some elite form of Christianity. It is God's Norm. Watchman Nee would have called it the Normal Christian Life. Others in time past called it brokenness. We call it life. Rob Rufus explains in "Taking Away The Veil" that Christ has opened the way through to God for us. We can live there.Why bother using the phrase "Third Level"? Because there are 3 places in God's Tabernacle. And there are 3 stages of growth in 1 John 2. More than this, historically and corporately we have known forgiveness by grace. Then from 1906 onward the Church has known a charismatic empowering by grace. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and supernatural manifestations.But what we are now saying is we can live full-time to God's glory and in God's glory. There are keys of faith to each stage and in these last days God has been revealing the grace keys to this final level....a level that has had the Veil Taken Away.It is the level that is the full realisation of the New Covenant in Christ's Blood, but also the life that God promised when He said "The Knowledge of the Glory of God shall cover the Earth as the Waters Cover the Sea".A FULL LIST OF SUBJECT LABELS CAN BE FOUND LISTED ALPHABETICALLY AT THE BASE OF THIS PAGE.
